every teacher needs this

Loved using it. Was very happy my school paid for a pro account so we had no limits on videos. It's so worth learning how to use it because it makes your job easier and the kids learn more.

PROS

It's so easy to crowdsource questions to go with videos. If you're a busy teacher, you can easily use a video template from another teacher, customize to your needs, and you're good to go. It's so easy to use and it really ups the viewing experience because you hold your students accountable to actually watch the video and learn from it. It's a no brainer.

CONS

There were some glitches when it came to integrating with Canvas, like students showing me they watched the whole thing and it not populating in my grade book.

Great Educational Tool

Overall, I highly recommend EdPuzzle. It is a great tool for student engagement and holds student attention well.

PROS

EdPuzzle is an engaging tool for students to use. Students love learning through videos, and EdPuzzle holds student attention because it allows you to insert questions throughout the video. I also love that it has the automatic pause when the tab is changed; this requires students to focus on the video rather than just let it play. I appreciate that it automatically grades multiple choice questions. You are able to trim videos and delete sections to really customize the assignment to meet the needs of your students.

CONS

The limit on video storage with the free version is disappointing. I would like if the software had the capability of an answer key for open ended questions.

Reasons for switching to Edpuzzle

Safeshare limited videos that I could create. I also prefer the questions being directly within the video instead of in a separate assignment.

Unique but needs more work

PROS

The idea of turning videos into interactive assessments is a game-changer. You can track student progress and comprehension in nearly real-time.

CONS

The interface is clunky and buggy. Editing videos is not a straightforward process and it can take a while for menus/pages to load.

My expirience of use Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle is often praised for its ability to transform passive video-watching into an interactive learning experience. I appreciate the platform's features that allow eme to embed questions, comments, and notes within videos, engaging students and promoting active learning.Tool offers educators the flexibility to create their own video content or utilize pre-existing videos from a wide range of sources. This allows me to curate resources that align with my specific curriculum or instructional goals, tailoring the content to meet the needs of their students.I can track students' responses to embedded questions, view analytics on student engagement, and provide targeted feedback. This data-driven approach helps me identify areas of improvement and personalize instruction.But also I have found less favorable aspects: limited video editing capabilities and limited question types (I have a desire for additional question types, such as matching or sequencing, to enhance the variety of assessment options available).

PROS

1. Interactive video features: Edpuzzle allows educators to make any video interactive by adding questions, comments, and notes at specific points in the video. I appreciate the ability to engage students actively and assess my understanding through embedded questions, ensuring that learning is active and dynamic.2. Customization options: Edpuzzle offers customization features that allow educators to personalize the learning experience. I can trim videos, add my own voiceovers, and create custom video lessons to align with specific learning objectives and student needs. This flexibility enables me to tailor content to my teaching style and address the unique requirements of my students.3. Assessment and feedback: Edpuzzle provides features for assessing student learning and providing feedback. I can view detailed analytics and data on student progress, including how many times a student watched a video, their responses to questions, and overall performance. This data helps inform instructional decisions and allows for targeted interventions and personalized feedback.

CONS

1. Limited video editing capabilities: While Edpuzzle offers basic video editing features, I have a desire for more advanced editing options. For example, I have mentioned a need for more precise trimming, advanced video effects, or the ability to merge multiple videos into one.2. Limited question types: Edpuzzle provides several question types, such as multiple-choice, open-ended, and true/false. However, I have a desire for additional question types, such as matching or sequencing, to enhance the variety of assessment options available.

Amazing tool for flipping classrooms

EdPuzzle has made a huge difference in my teaching practice. I love how easy it is to assign videos with questions to my students to pre-teach or check for readiness on a topic before coming to class. By clicking on a video I assigned to a class, I can quickly see who completed the video and how well students understood specific topics by looking at questions students got wrong. Though there is an extensive collection of pre-made EdPuzzles online for educators to use immediately, creating my own EdPuzzles has been an intuitive process. Though it takes time to create each EdPuzzle, the fact that I can share these EdPuzzles with my colleagues and reuse them from year to year makes it worth the effort. Furthermore, it is easy to duplicate and edit EdPuzzles so I can tweak and improve them. Overall, EdPuzzle is an incredible tool that has improved my teaching practice.

PROS

EdPuzzle is an easy-to-use website that has allowed me to flip large portions of the didactic part of my lessons for students to complete outside of the classroom so we can use class time to do activities or tackle more challenging concepts. EdPuzzle makes it easy to find pre-made videos with questions created by other educators, or find a YouTube video online and add your own questions throughout a video. I also upload my own videos that I have recorded and then add questions for students to answer. I like how there are different types of questions that I can add, and I can even add a note with a link with more information. Teachers can create classes in Edsby, so it is easy to track student completion (I use EdPuzzles as exit or entrance tickets). I also appreciate how easy it is to reset an EdPuzzle for students to reattempt and it is easy to share an EdPuzzle with colleagues for them to use. Most importantly, these videos can be reused yearly to save educators time!

CONS

I would love to see EdPuzzle be able to integrate with learning management systems so that the grades in EdPuzzle could automatically be updated in the LMS. It can be difficult to find the exact moment in the video to add a question - wish there was greater sensitivity in the timer placement. The phone app could also use improvement as students have reported it is quite buggy and videos are slow to load.

You didn't even know you wanted this

This product opens up infinite options for flipped and hybrid learning. My main goal is to use Explain Everything to create my own short instructional videos to upload into EdPuzzle, and then add quiz questions to those. I learned about Ed Puzzle and Explain Everything from the Modern Classroom project, an initiative to help teachers create content students can use independently in class, to free up the teacher to provide individualized and small group instruction.

PROS

There is a firehose of learning content available on youtube, and some of it is superb. But then again, it's not exactly right for my students, you think. First of all, it's too long. Secondly, there's one section that goes over my students' heads, and I think they'll check out when they get to that part. If I could cut out those parts, it would be perfect. But then again, even if it was perfect, students might just zone out and not pay attention. If only I could build in some active participation? I'll just use this worksheet. No, teachers! Do not despair! EDPUZZLE is the tool of your dreams. It's so good, you might not even grasp what you can do with it at first. Allow me to explain: you can take ANY youtube video, put it into your account on Edpuzzle, crop out parts you don't want, AND... (here's the kicker!) you can write multiple choice and open ended questions and insert them at any point in the video that you choose! Then you can assign the video to students for view in or out of class, and the video will stop at each point you've entered a question to provide a quick check for understanding. And you will automatically receive their answers. Yes, this is real. But I don't have time to do that right now, you think? That's OK, because there are thousands of short videos that you can search by topic that other teachers have already created with the questions built in. And you can very easily find and edit them for your own classroom use.

CONS

It took me a few tries to understand the potential of this product, and to fine-tune my content. But this is a minor issue.

Excellent EdPuzzle

EdPuzzle rocks for video integration and the flipped classroom model. It really supports student engagement and learning.

PROS

Edpuzzle is so simple to create content in. You can use You Tube videos or your own content. I love that there are different question choices and that it stops the video when you want them to answer a question. Also there is a no skip option which helps with students actually watching the video. It is also self-grading for multiple choice.

CONS

Now, like most edtech companies, you have to pay premium for more space and other advanced features. Also sometimes the program glitches and students have to make sure they are logged into their Google account, but overall it has worked very well starting out this year.

Edpuzzle for Student Engagement

Overall, I love Edpuzzle. I highly recommend Edpuzzle for engagement and a fun way to incorporate checks for understanding. It is one of my favorite programs to share with colleagues, and to use when I am planning to run educational activities.

PROS

I love Edpuzzle for video editing and embedding questions, comments, and notes into assigned videos. It is a great tool to create learning resources. I currently use it to create videos for students as a part of my company's academic outreach team, and have used it in the classroom setting as well. I also appreciate that the program tracks progress and has an embedded gradebook once you embed questions and answers within the video.

CONS

On Edpuzzle, I wish there was a better way to collaborate with colleagues. For example, I wish there could be more than one "teacher" or account holder for a group. I also wish there was an easier way to cut information from videos.

Edpuzzle rocks!

Edpuzzle is a user-friendly program that can help teachers save time and add an interactive digital component to their daily lessons.

PROS

Edpuzzle allows our teachers to incorporate technology into their lessons seemlessly.

CONS

The only trouble we had with the program was integrating it into our Schoology platform.

Reason for choosing Edpuzzle

Pricing! Also the K-12 offerings were for all subject areas and grade bands.

Reasons for switching to Edpuzzle

Pricing for the previous service was out of our budget.

Organized and Synergetic E-Learning Video Platform

This is a great resource, especially for a flipped, blended, or online classroom!

PROS

There are many things I appreciate about EdPuzzle, including firstly that is allows Google Classroom imports directly to a course that the teacher has created. Also, the feature that sets due dates and shows what percentage of work a student has completed as of the due date is very important for integrity standards. Another great feature is the set-up for organizing lessons into to courses, and sections/chapters within those courses. I have gone back easily to old lessons within seconds, rather than digging through old files. The teacher is able to use videos from different platforms (YouTube, etc), or upload their own, and can edit and insert questions as desired.

CONS

One setback is that if a student submits a video after the due date, there is not a feature to notify the teacher. Unless the teacher goes back to check regularly, a student’s work could go ungraded for a while. Also, there is a pro version, which is paid. I did fine with a regular teacher subscription.

EdPuzzle: An Important Piece to a Planning Puzzle

I’m so glad I was told about it from another teacher years ago. I’ve been using it ever since, and my students really appreciate the chunking of the video/learning.

PROS

EdPuzzle allows me to create videos that my students can watch in their own for review or flipped lessons. I can create step by step videos, have it pause for my students to work, then play to check their answers. It also has a ton of videos with questions that other teachers have created, that I may use as is, or change to meet my class’ needs.

CONS

There really isn’t much that I don’t like. If I had to be super picky, I’d say that i couldn’t move a student from one class to another. I’m sure if I would’ve contacted customer service they would’ve helped, but I didn’t.

Puzzled for Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle helped me flip my lessons when covid hit. I wish there were more features to boost engagement such as a pop quiz or game based design.

PROS

I liked that Edpuzzle holds students accountable for their work. I do wish that there were more advanced questions to integrate.

CONS

The accountability piece is very low and mid tier. Students can simply stream it and not be active in their learning.

Edpuzzle

It is pretty easy overall to learn. The grading platform is really great and allows you to quickly grade assignments.

PROS

During the covid year these were lifesavers. Without covid they are still uselful for having students watch a video clip at home, or quick formative assessments. It is not as necessary to verify a student is watching a video any longer when you show it in class, but it is still very helpful.

CONS

There are some platforms that you can't integrate the video's in. It is great if it is on khan academy or youtube, but maybe not if it is on a different platform.

PROS

Edpuzzle is the best software I have found for making videos interactive. Range of different question types including self-marked questions, options to give feedback. The possibility to "lock" the video until the student has answered a question correctly is good. Great for flipped learning and homework.

CONS

While it is fairly user-friendly, if I haven't used it for a while it takes me a few minutes to remember how to use the main features. Also, as my school blocks Youtube, it is not possible for students to use in class without pre-setup with the tech support team.

Edpuzzle for Middle School Classroom

I’ve found Edpuzzle to be helpful for parts of lessons that can be student-led. Though the initial process of creating lessons can be cumbersome, it’s easy to return to these lessons in the following year and edit them as needed and upload them directly into Google Classroom or other LMS.

PROS

Edpuzzle makes it easy to allow students independence in the classroom. It ensures student accountability when watching educational videos and provides teachers with necessary data to target future instruction on any given topic. The best part of Edpuzzle is the self-grading ability which inputs student grades directly into a school’s LMS.

CONS

The process of creating videos for student use can be tedious. It can be helpful to find videos previously edited by other teachers but oftentimes these do not meet the needs of my individual classroom.
